Re: Certificate import

[Pete Helgren <pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you don't have a CSR you'll need a pkcs12 format file (.p12 or .pfx) 
that has the server private key.  Since DCM didn't generate the CSR it 
doesn't have the private key associated with it so you'll need the 
server private key which is usually packaged up in a pkcs#12 file and 
then import the file.
